Experiments i'm Sugar Production.


WAsHNGroN, September 12th.-Com-
missioner Coleman has just returned
from an offidial visit to Fort Scott, Kas.,
where the Department OF Agriculture is
conducting experiments in making
sugar from sorghum by the diffusion
process. He expresses himself as being
delighted with the results obtained al
ready. He says the experiment consists
in the trial of a new process in making
sugar in this country, which dispenses
entirely with costly and ponderous mills,
steam engines, etc, and uses far SIM
pier and less expensive method for ex-
tracing juice, by which all the sacchar-
inc matter is obtained, instead of about
one-half as heretofore. The new pro-
cess is called diffusion or saturation pro-
cess. The cane is cut into chips and
sassed into a battery of twelve cells,
each holding ton of chips. Hot water
is then applied, which rapidly exhausts
b the saccharine matter, and so thorough
ly that there is scarcely trace OF it left.
The cells are entirely practical and can
be speedily. filled, manipulated and
emptied, one man attending to the en-
tire operation.
The mill at Fort Scott is capable of
working up every twenty-four hours $50
tons of cane, making therefrom $4,000
pounds of sugar or more. a yield of
from ten to fifteen tons of cane per acre
was being secured, which would produce
by this process from 1,20O to 1900
pounds of sugar This sugar is worth
by the carload 51a cents per pound. Nor
is this all, for to every ton of cane,
aside FROM the sugar in it, there are
some ten or twelve gallons OF molasses,
and also the seed raised from the cane,
amounting to about five bushels per
acre, and just as good for feeding all
kinds of stock as Indian corn.
The Commissioner says: "The De-
partment is also conducting mandatory
experiments in New Jersey. Results OF
these experiments upon the country
will be most beneficial. The nation is
paying 100000 annually to the sugar
producers of other countries, and, if it
can be demonstrated that we can profit
ably produce the same on our own
farms, it is matter of the highest inn
portance to the country. 1t will not
only keep this money at home, but it
will save to our people 100000 an
nually in customs duties. [ cannot see
why our people should not go to making
sugar A complete sugar factory will
cost about as much as a Touring mill,
and can be run at great profit according
to the present experiments. Farmers
are glad to raise cane at 81 per ton, and
at that it pays far better than other
farm products. l look upon these ex-
periments as being fully as important to
this country as the invention OF the cot
ton gin, They have demonstrated that
we have sugar plant that can be grown
and converted proftably into sugar
south of the 39th parallel (Which is out
of reach of the early frosts) to the Gulf
of Mexico, and that this country
will be independent of every other nation
for sugar. This new process will be
tried on sugar cane.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
Officers Ramsey and Keehan Save the

This morning about o'clock, while OIL
GERS Ramsey and Keehan were on duty, the
lurid light from the kitchen window OF the
residence Of DR.. A. NJ. Cochran, corner OF
GufTrIe and Collins streets, attracted their
attention. They hastened to the house and
found that the curtain of the window had
caught fire through the carelessness OF Il
servant, who had gone to bed and was sound
asleep. The officers. after considerable
effort, aroused the inmates TO their danger
and proceeded to eXtinguish the llames.
Their arrival was timely. In few minutes
the fire would have been under such head
way that the house would have burned be-
fore they could have arrived, and in all
probability the woman asleep would have
been burned to death. Altogether 1t was a
narrow escape.

TELEPHONE RACKET.

That was daring set of merchants at
Memphis, Tenn, who, sooner than sub
init to an increase of 80 per cent. in
rates, ordered all the telephones re-
moved from their places of business.
1t remains to be seen whether the ex-
pertinent of returning to primitive
methods of messengers and mails will
succeed in opposition to the convenient
''Hello, central office!" with which we
are all so familiar. But the TELEPHONE
company has the upper hand in con-
troversy of this sort, for people wonder
how they ever succeeded in accomplish
ing anything before this invention made
the means of communication so easy.
And the trouble will come when some
good housewife, instead of being able
to send an order for marketing to the
butcher or grocer over the wire. must
take street car and market basket
and be subjected to all sorts of trouble
ana annoyance hitherto avoided by the
convenient phone.
The pioneers in this fight will have a
great deal of attention from the outside
world, and their progress will be eag-
erly watched, but the chances are that
the row will result i'll victory for the
telephone.
